And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But you like crabs, don't you?

Only in cake form.

What is even happening?

NICKEL MINES, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Police surrounded a one-room Amish schoolhouse Monday in response to reports of multiple shooting victims, a television station reported.
WGAL-TV said the incident occurred in southeastern Lancaster County.
About three dozen Amish people were standing behind a police line, and at least two ambulances had left the scene, the station said. Television news helicopters showed a person being taken away on a stretcher to a waiting medical helicopter.
The Lancaster County 911 Web site reported that dozens of emergency units were dispatched to a "medical emergency" at 10:45 a.m. Monday.
Oh, dear God, those poor people.

There's a story on the website that two Vegas schools are locked down, too, because a student was spotted with a gun. He fled from police, and they found a handgun nearby.

What is it--terrorize a school day? Excuse me. I have to go dismiss my kids and homeschool them.

Okay, I am going to hell, because I immediately wondered if Amish people have to be taken to the hospital in a horse-drawn ambulance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, just think of isopod cake.

Now that I think about it, all those legs are way too wee to make sucking on them rewarding. Perhaps cake is the better option.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

What is it--terrorize a school day?

Personally, I am having nostalgia for the time when people were squirmily recognizing that, when America is under attack, it is usually under attack by other Americans. And teenagers were the most terrifying creature people could think of.

How times change!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was wondering the same thing, except I was also trying to picture horse-powered helicopters.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm leaving for Europe on Thursday. I'm starting to question everything I had planned to pack, what suitcase I'm bringing, what other bag I'm bringing, and how I plan to change money. The internet has too much information.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Nah. The Amish can be driven, they just can't drive.

So all public transport is copacetic? That takes the shine off a bunch of jokes.
